According to the latest report from renowned journalist Ben Jacobs, Chelsea Football Club has not stopped on the path to signing young defender Omorodion, despite the player's current focus on the Olympic Games. Meanwhile, Atletico Madrid FC's transfer strategy could have a major impact on Omorodion's future.
Reports suggest that Chelsea's interest in Omorodion has been consistent and they are willing to bring him in for around €40 million, a figure comparable to Gallagher's transfer fee. Chelsea's persistence shows that they are highly aware of Omorodion's potential and strength and are willing to pay a hefty price for it.
However, Omorodion's future is not entirely in Chelsea's hands. Atletico Madrid's attitude is equally crucial. According to reports, if Atletico are successful in signing Argentine striker Alvarez, then they may consider selling Omorodion to balance the team's finances and squad structure. This news certainly adds a touch of uncertainty to Chelsea's transfer plans, but it also brings new opportunities.
Atletico have yet to make a formal offer for Alvarez, but early talks between the clubs are already underway. This means that Chelsea will need to keep a close eye on Atletico's transfer developments in order to react at a crucial time. If Atletico do sign Alvarez, then Chelsea may step up their attack on the Omorodion in a bid to get a head start in the transfer market.
Ben Jacobs also emphasized the independence between the two deals. He made it clear that Gallagher's transfer is not directly linked to that of Omorodion and that Chelsea are considering the two players separately in their pursuit. This is further proof of Chelsea's flexibility and focus in the transfer market.
